My requirement is to notify group of people if our backup fails. We've got an OpenFire XMPP server, and I'm planning on using one of the many Python libraries for sending XMPP messages.
Is it possible to send a message to an XMPP group programmatically? I've poked around, but it's possible that I'm not asking the right questions.
I'd prefer not to enter user id's of individuals when sending the message, as that would require scripting changes if people joined/left the group. It would be convenient if I could just send to all members of an OpenFire XMPP group, which is mapped to LDAP. Any ideas?
Thanks much
